20 Jan Proverbs 26:28 & 29:5 & Jude 1:16 & Romans 16:17-18

Proverbs 26

28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
and flattering words cause ruin.

Proverbs 29:5

5 To flatter friends
is to lay a trap for their feet.

Jude 1:16

16 These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want.

Romans 16:17-18

17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
